Summary: Installing Python2.2b2 compileall hangs

Initial Comment:
Installing python 2.2.b2 on my linux machine fails, 
as it is hanging in the compileall step:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.2         ./python -tt 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/compileall.py -x badsyntax         /usr/local/lib/python2.2
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2 ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...
Listing /usr/local/lib/python2.2/ ...

goes on forever without doing anything.

when I insert a line 37:
        print names  


I just receive an empty list

Something truly bizarre must be the matter with
/usr/local/lib/python-2.2.

I can only understand that the code would do this if you
have a subdirectory with an empty name!

What operating system?
